问答题现在,成千上万的美国人沉湎于对身材苗条的追求之中。他们着迷于节食和锻炼,这不仅仅是因为他们对年轻外表的追求,最近的一项研究表明节食和体育锻炼对身体健康的具有极端重要性。如同在许多工业技术发达的国家中一样,北美人的生活方式发生了显著的变化。现代化的机器完成了人们曾被迫用手工来完成的体力劳动。小汽车、公共汽车运载着我们飞快地从一地来到另—地。由于无所事事,人们的身体变得十分虚弱并易于生病。为了避免这种状况的发生,成千上万的美国人把更多的时间投入到体育锻炼之中。这种对体育锻炼重要性的认识所产生的结果是显而易见的:公园里到处都是散步和骑自行车的人,体育节目又重新树立了威望,许多公司都为自己的员工提供特殊的运动器材供他们在工作日当中锻炼身体。

问答题The information in many databases consists of natural-language texts of documents. Information is retrieved from these computerized records based on the presence in them of words or short phrases that are identical to those posed in the user's query. In a typical query, the user provides a sequence of characters, such as the title of a journal or the name of a subject area, and the computer searches in the database for a corresponding sequence of characters and provides the source materials in which those characters appear. Queries are the principal means by which users retrieve database information.
问答题From the abacus to the Apple Mac, technology has constantly changed the way we learn. In equal measure, the needs of education have provided the driving force behind some of our most significant technological innovations. Most classrooms in the world would insist on having students turn their mobiles off-- but one scheme in Bangladesh is very much about keeping them on. The Janala service--created by the BBC's development charity the World Service Trust--gives anyone with a mobile the chance to learn English-- simply by calling a number and listening in. Mobile telecommunication is the fastest growing industry in Bangladesh, and the service has already logged over 400 000 calls. "We can't carry a dictionary everywhere," said one Bangladeshi student. "But now we can carry a mobile phone which helps us learn./

resemble, in what way were they unlike, Communists or Socialists elsewhere? The

问答题The year of 2009 will bring an avalanche of books, lectures, television programs and articles on Charles Darwin. (Ⅱ-1)It is 200 gears since he was born and 150 gears since he was pushed to publish his on the Origin of Species earlier than he intended by the arrival of a letter from Alfred Russel Wallace, the naturalist who, independently, had the same theory of natural selection that Darwin had supposed all his own. Since Darwin wasn't alone in thinking up the theory of natural selection or in assembling evidence in support of evolution, are we right to make such a song and dance of his anniversary? The short answer is "yes". (Ⅱ-2)On the Origin of Species is the most important biology book yet written and Darwin has done as much as anyone, including Copernicus, Newton, Marx and Freud, to change how we see ourselves. Why does Darwinian worldview matters more than ever? Above all, Darwin decenters humanity. In this he completes the work that Copernicus and Galileo began. We are not the centre of the Universe. The Universe existed long before we came on the scene. (Ⅱ-3)This decentering does not, of course, mean that we matter any the less. Rather, it helps us to appreciate that we do not sit in a distinct category from the rest of creation. The great apes that are heading towards extinction in the wild and are still used in some countries for medical research really are our relatives.

问答题Our attitudes towards daydreaming have been much like our attitudes towards dreaming in our sleep. Night dreaming was once thought to interfere with normal sleep, to rob us of necessary rest. But experiments have indicated that dreams are a normal part of sleep, and that dreaming each night is necessary for mental health.
1
Dr. William Dement, who is experimenting on the significance of dreaming at Sinai Hospital in New York, reports that those subjects whose dreams are interrupted regularly exhibit emotional disturbances: high blood pressure, anxiety, irritability, and difficulty in concentrating.
"One of the subjects," Dr. Dement reported, "left the study in apparent alarm, and two insisted on stopping, presumably because the stress was too great." As soon as the subjects were allowed to dream again, all psychological disturbances vanished.
Prolonged daydream deprivation also results in mounting anxiety and tension. And many daydream-deprived people find that eventually the need can no longer be suppressed: daydreaming erupts spontaneously.
2
During times of stress, daydreaming erects a temporary shield against reality, in much the same way that building a house protects our bodies from the elements.
Both may be seen as forms of escapism, but no one wants to spend life in an unrelieved battle for survival. We are entitled to occasional strategic withdrawals to regroup our forces.
Recent research on daydreaming indicates that it is an essential part of daily life. Daydreaming, it has been discovered, is an effective means of relaxation. But the beneficial effects of daydreaming go beyond that.
3
Experiments conducted by Dr. Joan T. Freyberg, a New York City psychotherapist, showed that daydreaming significantly helps intellectual growth, powers of concentration, attention span, and the ability to communicate with others.
Dr. Freyberg also discovered that her patients who easily engaged in fantasy-making usually responded more quickly to treatment.
问答题21. We might be inclined to attribute to the act of thinking complete from language if the individual formed or were able to form his concepts without the verbal guidance of his environment. Yet most likely the mental shape of an individual, growing up under such conditions, would be very poor. Thus we may conclude that the mental development of the individual and his way of forming concepts depend to a high degree upon language. This makes us realize to what extent the same language means the same mentality. In this sense thinking and language are linked together. What distinguishes the language of science from languages, as we ordinarily understand the word? How is it that scientific language is international? What science strives for is an utmost acuteness and clarity of concepts as regards their mutual relation and their correspondence to sensory data. As an illustration, let us take the language of Euclidean geometry and algebra. They manipulate with a small number of independently introduced concepts, respectively symbols, such as the integral number, the straight line, the point, as well as with signs which designate the fundamental concepts. This is the basis for the construction, respectively definition of all other statements and concepts. The connection between concepts and statements on the one hand and the sensory data on the other hand is established through acts of counting and measuring whose performance is sufficiently well determined. 22. The super-national character of scientific concepts and scientific language is due to the fact that they have been set up by the best brains of all countries and all times. In solitude and yet in cooperative effort as regards the final effect they created the spiritual tools for the technical revolutions which have transformed the life of mankind in the last centuries. Their system of concepts has served as a guide in the bewildering chaos of perceptions so that we learned to grasp general truths from particular observations. 23. What hopes and fears does the scientific method imply for mankind? I do not think that this is the right way to put the question. Whatever this tool in the hand of man will produce depends entirely on the nature of the goals alive in this mankind. Once these goals exist, the scientific method furnishes means to realize them. Yet it cannot furnish the very goals. The scientific method itself would not have led anywhere. It would not even have been born without a passionate striving for clear understanding. 24. Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem--in my opinion--to characterize our age. If we desire sincerely and passionately the safety, the welfare and the free development of the talents of all men, we shall not be in want of the means to approach such a state. Even if only a small part of mankind strives for such gods, their superiority will prove itself in the long run.

问答题(1)The onrush of cheap communications, powerful computers and the Internet all explain why many people feel that, nowadays, change is happening ever more rapidly as technological progress accelerates. Moore's law, that the power of microchips doubles every 18 months, has been tested and found correct. This is what gives people the sense of a world shifting beneath their feet. (2) Yet the implication that rapid change is a new phenomenon is again misleading. If you measure the time it takes for a technology to become widely diffused, today's experience does not seem unusual. Take the ear. The basic patent for an internal-combustion engine capable of powering a car was filed in 1877. By the late 1920s -- 50 years later-- over half of all American households owned a car. (3) The comparable dates for the computer are harder to tie down, but the first big computer, based on vacuum valves, was built in 1946. The transistor--the first semiconductor device--was invented at Bell Laboratories in 1948. The first patent for an integrated circuit was filed in 1959. Now, in 1999--The pace of introduction has been similar to that of the car. (4) You have to cheat, choosing only the date for the personal computer. Say (mid-1970s), or the internet (ditto) to make it seem much more rapid. Comparing its diffusion among private users is, you might say, unfair to the computer, for that machine's, main use is in businesses. On that measure, the best historical analogy is with electrification, and the spread of the electric dynamo into factories. (5) According to Paul David, a historian at Stanford University in California, the first electricity-generating stations had been installed in New York and London in 1881, but it was well into the 1920s before the dynamo became widely used and started to raise productivity. The adoption of the computer in business has also been slow, and failed to have any measurable impact on productivity until very recently.
